Welcome

Hello! I'm Carmen, an over-qualified SAHM who began blogging (and running) for therapy. I write what I know about the struggles to stay happy, healthy (and sane) while juggling multiple young children at home.

I aim to share my experiences with other moms who are making an effort to get healthier in the midst of running a household. Because moms deserve to feel good too.

My "Supermom Spotlight" series is always in need of new, inspiring stories - contact me at carmen@fit4twins.com if you think you're ready to share yours!

When I came up with the idea to showcase the stories of strong, inspiring, remarkable women, I could not have anticipated the various topics that would be explored nor the impact the shared experiences would have on my readers…and, mostly, on me.

I don’t believe I have ever met a mother whose labor went exactly as planned. This wasn’t a comfort to me when I was preparing for the inevitable moment my twin babies decided it was time we meet, but I also kept telling myself that I would get through it just as many women had done before me. My own great grandmother had… Read more →

I don’t usually write about things like this. I haven’t been this moved to write someone a personal message like this one since my freshman year of college, and that was…too many years ago for me to admit. I heard your story over the radio this morning, on a rare solo vehicle ride to my dental appointment. (Just FYI, you… Read more →
